Ark Raiders is finally here and I’ve been testing it on the MSI Claw 8 AI, pushing every setting, resolution, and power mode to see how well it really runs on a Windows handheld. Huge shoutout to everyone who asked for this video — this one’s for you.

In this video I cover:
– Best settings for Ark Raiders on the MSI Claw 8 AI
– How it compares to the Steam Deck
– 1080p, 720p, and Frame Sync behaviour
– Recommended TDP + AI Mode settings
– Real gameplay with FPS overlay
– My final verdict on whether the Claw 8 can really keep up
